I want to thank Sara for the amazing work she completed for my mother's condo in La Jolla. My…read moremother was moving from Santa Barbara to San Diego because she needed to be closer to family as she aged and needed more assistance. The condo was built in the 70's and had never been renovated. It needed a complete overhaul. Coming from her home in Santa Barbara, we wanted her to feel as comfortable in her new home as the one she had become accustomed to in Santa Barbara, by matching the style and finishes. We also needed to make the renovation happen fast. Sara was by our side the entire time. She responded quickly to questions and concerns, and found the absolute best in everything, and kept it all within our budget. She became an invaluable liaison between myself and our contractor. Because my mom used a walker and was transitioning to using a wheelchair, Sara assured everything was ADA compliant. In fact, when an occupational therapist made a visit to the home, she said that she couldn't remember the last time she saw a bathroom that was so well designed for the needs of my mother. And it looks fabulous too! My mom loves her new home. We love having her closer to family and living in such comfort and style. Thank you Sara for meeting the task. We will definitely choose to work with you in the future. Below are just a few photos

And I am proud to say that our family of 5 have kept it in perfect working order as a result of her amazing organizational skills, eye for style and spacial convenience. Best part is after we moved to a new home, the system she set up for our prior home transferred easily into the new space! What I enjoy most about the system is it so much more efficient making my grocery list, and we also have a lot less waste. Having everything out of the box and in these cute jars that make everything look so clean and organized and allows peeps to actually see and use what's in there! It's the simple things in life that just make a mom feel a little lighter! Her rates are amazing as well. Next time you walk past that area or five in your house that is driving, you crazy, just reach out to Kategorically Kate! You won't regret it... she handles it all, start to finish and so easy to work with. And she won't judge your mess!

I got the opportunity to work with Kate Griffin on an organization job that I needed for my home. I…read morecontacted her one week & she scheduled our appt. for early the following week. Which was such a breath of fresh air in this very active real estate market. Being a Realtor. I know all companies that are associated with real estate are experiencing lots of volume so that was very quick considering the market. To be honest I was in such need of moving this project forward. What a wonderful blessing we got started right away! I had moved into a new home and with the exception of a desk/chair and a bed. I only brought items that fit in a box. Or went in the closet. I initially contacted Blythe so I can get a design to get some furniture etc. but I had boxes all around the parameter of my home and couldn't get to the design until we went through all the boxes and had everything organized and put away. Over the years we can accumulate so many items that are so precious. IE: just to name one category. I had been saving a variety of keep sake items from over the years that were also in cardboard boxes and felt stuck not knowing what to do with them. I didn't know where to start. When Kate arrived she rolled up her sleeves and got to work. We opened every box and went through absolutely everything. She made what looked so overwhelming a breeze. She was able to help me discern what to keep and what to purge. I had a hard time parting ways with items I hadn't used in I can't even remember the last time I had used them. I even had kept boxes from vacuums and other appliances that she kindly pointed out were taking up space that we could use to organize other items in. Apparently, I needed the permission to get rid of it. Which when I did get rid of them. It felt freeing! We sorted through all sorts of items. Anywhere, from a variety of keep sakes (my daughter trophy's, various photos, bday and holiday cards I had collected over the years), office supplies, to electronics (she helped me discern what to keep - and what to recycle - phew - so nice to know you can recycle electronics), kitchen cabinets, cleaning supplies, cleaning appliances in a closet, to paperwork that needed to be shredded and had piled up over time (which I got done), misc. bathroom items, linen closet to labeling. By the time we were done it was after 6pm and we had lot of empty cardboard boxes to recycle. Even though she had been here for 4 hours on a intense and detailed job.... with a mask on... On a hot day. She wanted to ensure she didn't leave any task for that day not completed. She offered to help me break down and take out every last box (I live on the 3rd floor) which we did. Then we scheduled an appt. for the next day so we could get some containers etc. to efficiently organize the items. Bye bye cardboard boxes. What started off as a 3 hour process. Ended up being a 9 hour job over a span of 3 days. I'm so grateful Kate was available 3 days in a row to keep the flow of the process going. I can go on and on. When you don't know where to start it's sure great to have someone who is a professional organizer help you. Kate is experienced, professional, amazing, friendly, funny, jovial and someone you will feel comfortable having in your home.

Brenda started by recommending some shelving units and suggested hanging items like bikes and bags on the wall to free up space. It's so much easier when you have someone to help you making decisions. She helped us sort and organize all the boxes into categories, important documents, books, sports gear, Legos, music equipment, my work stuff, making everything so much easier to find. She also created clear labels for each box, which has made staying organized simple. I highly recommend Brenda and her business, Fresh Start Organizing, if you need help bringing order to your space. Her solutions are tailored and incredible effective.
